Grapefruit essential oil is useful in a variety of applications. Its disinfecting qualities make it a useful cleaner for housekeeping, and because it is good for the skin, these same qualities make it also a great choice for a body cleanser. Grapefruit is a perfect choice for individuals trying to lose weight; from detoxifying and reducing appetite, to getting that initial water weight off, to diminish the appearance of cellulite. Along with all its other desirable attributes, Grapefruit has a cheerful and energetic scent that makes using it a delight.
